JUDGE PARKER’S ACCEPTANCE.
As Seen By An Editor From Jasper,
Tennessee.
We dropped down to Dalton,
Georgia, last week on a little mat
ter of business. It had been more
than two fortnights since we had
been in that region, and the growth
on the crops has been tremendous
in that length of time.
The corn crop is in full silk and
tassle, and a few fields have pretty
well matured, the cotton is in full
bloom, and the Elberta peaches
have been marketed. This crop
has yielded the orchard people
large returns and prosperity is
seen and felt on all sides.
When we reached the shire town
of Dalton we went at once to
the Hotel Dalton, left a specimen
of our chyrography on the register,
ascended the stairs, met Mrs.
Hopkins, mother of the hostess,
who was much pleased.to meet us
and so expressed herself. From
there we ambled around to the
wholesale store of Smith & Co.,
where we met the genial proprietor,
and our friend C. A. Deakins, who
is a general utility man in the firm,
such as shipping clerk, traveling
salesman, bill clerk and his lo
quacity is very pronounced. He
took us in hand and escorted us
around to his domicile where we
spent a most pleasant night under
his hospitable roof. Mrs. Deakins
took occasion to make home folks
out of us, as she said, and there
fore the hospitality was easy, genu
ine, and of the very best. It is a
pleasure to have such friends
scattered about over the earth,
where one can turn in and be at
home.
Early next morning we rushed
(?) frantically around to _iie office
of the Dalton Marble Works, and
had an interview with the pro
prietor, H. P. Colvard. This is
one of- the largest marble walks
north of Marietta, Georgia, and is
shipping its products all over the
South and West.
Mr. Colvard, the owner of this
large plant, was born in Bledsoe
county, in this valley, in 1869.
At the age of 15 years he moved
to Middle Tennessee and remain
ed three years, returning to Pike»
ville he worked in a store for two
years and there he began selling
monuments for a Chattanooga
concern, with whom he worked
for two or three years. In 1892
lie went to Dalton and established
a marble yard under the firm name
of Baker & Colvard, but in a short
time he bought out Mr. Baker, and
since that time has been conduct
ing the business alone. In Feb
ruary of the year 1896 he was
married to Miss Maggie Barrett,
daughter of J. W. Barrett, of Dal
ton.
We are impelled to write this
little sketch that some young man
who reads it may gather an incen
tive to press forward, as Mr. Cob
vard has made his own way in the
world, which proves the truth
of the old adage, “labor omnia vin-
cit.”
In all his business dealings he
is strictly reliabl* and paities
dealing with the Dalton Marble
Works may do so with the assur
ance that their interests will b8
carefully looked after.
While we were in Dalton " ®
called at the office of the Citizen,
got on the exchange list, met the
editorial force, made a few unim
portant remarks, and departed.
A few pleasant moments were
spoilt with Captain Powel am
family at the Hotel Dalton an
we were off for home.
We should have mentioned that
while there we met Captain B us
Sell, whom we knew years ago at
Cole City, Georgia, as bookkeeper
of the mining company at that
place. Time deals very gently
with the captain, as he looks about
as he did thirty years ago, barring
the gray locks and a few crows
feet.—Statesman Democrat.
Philadelphia Record: Ourlead-
er has spoken with no uncertain
voice. Now let the battle begin. meutal
Pittsburg Press (Rep ): The
more one reads it, the more he is
impressed with the thought that
the mountain has been in labor
and has brought forth^-a mouse.
Baltimore Sun: His speech of
acceptance is that of an honest,
courageous and well-b.tlanced man,
who holds to the old landmarks
and believes in the reign of law
and the supremacy of the consti
tution.
velt. He has a few promises to
make of devoting his best efforts
to the administration of govern-
affairs. That is all.
Against these promises, this lack
of issues, the Republican party
places a record of grand achieve>
rnent.
New York American:' Judge
Parker has told the American
people the principles and purposes
for which he stands. It is for
them to decide whether they pre
fer a peaceful conservatism to the
per ils of radical IJooseveltism.
Boston Globe: While it is in
stinct with true Democracy, there
is in it the tolerance of a fairmind-
ed man and the caution of a pa
tient temperament. That it will
commend its author to the respect
and confidence of open-minded
people is not to be doubted.
New \ ork Sun (Rep.): Instead
of rising above the platform Judge
1 arker has crawled pretty ignom-
iniously beneath it, in our reluct
antly expressed opinion. He him
self has decreed that the choice
of independents shall be one of
parties and records and principles,
rather than of men.
Louisville Courier-Journal: It
is*,the voice of a Democrat, of a
statesman, of a leader who, at a
crisis when sncli service seemed
most lacking and was most need
ed, has risen up to stay the worship
of strange gods and to conduct the
people back to the true altar of
free government, the constitution.
New York Press (Rep.): The
speech of acceptance begins with
self laudation for his telegram
and resignation, is filled with
quantities of platitudes, and again
ends with self-laudation for his re
fusal to consider a second term
when he is as far from a first term
as any man who ever ran for presi
dent of the United states.
New York Tribune (Rep.):
The whole speech is an obvious
attempt to force the personal is
sue to the front, to bury out of
sight the Democracy which lias
not only been insane for eight
years, but for four years before
that played havoc with the admin
istration of its own “safe and sane”
President Cleveland, ahd to put
forward Judge Parker as better
than his party.
Baltimore American (Rep.):
There is nothing new in what ha
says, nothing that has not been
often said before as well and some
times better than he says it. He
clings to the immortal telegram to
St. Louis on the finances, and
places it ahead of his thanks to the
convention much as ahoy exhibits
his pride over a big jump or an
unusually acurate stone throw
New York World: We do not
think it too much to say that the
effort as a whole reveals the can
didate in a very favorable light to
all who want to vote for a consti
tutional rather than a personal
government—for asafe rather than
“strenuous” president. A com
plete antithesis of the Roosevelt
whom the country has known for
the past dozen years is the man
disclosed by this strong and con'
vincing speech.
New York Evening Post: I
Americans have got tired of all
the fret and sham of militarism
and the meretricious glitter of inv
perialism, they will turn with re-
lie f to Judge Parker,
whether they do. or not, he
shown himself a man worthy of
their'confidence and their sutfra.
and lias already wrought a
work for his country by

Baltimore Herald: The ad-
diess is characterized by clear and
direct statement on every matter
alluded to, and the courage of the
writer is unmistakable. It is such
a production as might have been
•xpected from a jurist of Judge
1 arker s ability and independence,
who is accustomed to studying
public questions in a broad and
liberal manner, standing for a
strict interpretation of the consti
tution and a rigid and impartial
enforcement of all the laws.

Noted Correspondent and Traveler.
Few newspapers in the United
States are able to command the
services of as brilliant a corps of
correspondents as that of The
Chicago Record Herald. Its choice
of a Washington correspondent
is indicative of The Record-Her
ald’s policy of obtaining the best
there is to be had. Walter Well"
man, the well-known author on
political subjects and one of the
subjects and one of the ablest
writers^of the day, acts in that
capacity.
Mr. Wellman was born in Men
tor, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1858. At the
age of 14 he began his newspaper
experience, establishing at that
age a weekly paper in the little
town of Sutton, Neb. In 1878 he
returned to Ohio, and a year later
established the Cincinnati Even
ing Post. In 1884 he became
the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Herald, and in 1892
he visited Central Ameiica and
the West Indies and located the
landing place of Columbus on
Watling’s (San Salvador) Island,
and marked the spot with a huge
stone monument. Mr. Wellman’s
dashes for the north pole are well
known. In 1894 he made the first
of his two artic voyages of explor
ation, reaching the latitude of 81
degrees northeast of Spitzbergen.
In 1898 he returned to the North,
penetrated to Franz Josef Land,
returning again to this country in
1899. On each trip he met with
wonderful success in the discovery
of new islands and lands, and
brought back with him scientific
data and information of great value
to the American Geographical
Society.
Mr. Wellman has been a volum
inous writer for scientific maga
zines and popular periodicals. On
returning from his artic trips he
renewed his connection with The
Record Herald, and is now the
Washington correspondent of that
paper. His incisive discussion of
contemporary affairs his given him
a high place in the regard of states
men and scientists of the day.
Better Than Cold.
“I was troubled for several years with
ohronic indigestion and nervoue debil
ity,” writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster,
N. H. “No remedy helped me until I
began using Electric Bitters, whieb did
me more goed than all the medicines I
ever used. They have also kept my wife
in excellent health for years. She says
Electric Bitters are just splendid for fe
male troubles; that they are a grand
tonic and invigorator for week, run down
